I’m not a famous person. Maybe one day people will see me in an airport and say “Hey you are that guy that works for that famous blog Lovestopicnic.com. I love that blog!” I will respond “Why yes I am actually Big Rich from Big Rich’s Small World.” And then they will say “You aren’t that big though. What happened?” Then I’ll get kinda mad and will try to wrap up the conversation.
Throughout my life I have had the opportunity to meet/run into some pretty famous people. Well they aren’t “Really” famous just moderately famous. Most of the time I try to act real cool so they don’t know that I’m jumping up and down inside. I have decided to let some of these stories out. I know my readers will love them. Some of them will be really short. Like one sentence short. For example: I saw Danny Ainge peeing in the bathroom at Magic Mountain. I don’t know what else I can add to that story. I guess I could say: I saw the “Stormin Mormon” peeing in the bathroom at Magic Mountain. Yeah that sounds better. For those of you who don’t know Danny Ainge is a basketball player that went to Brigham Young University. He then went to the Celtics where he won some championships and he is now the GM there. He was the one who suckered Kevin McHale into trading Kevin Garnett for some season tickets and his facebook password.
But here‘s my story of the time that I saw “Slim Thug”. Now if you don’t know who Slim Thug is he is a Texas rapper. He comes from H town. That is Houston for those of you who aren’t down. Right now I can’t think of anyone of my friends that would recognize Slim if they saw him. Maybe Samantha Paradise would. He is kinda underground but he had a part in the song “Check up on it” that was recorded by Destiny’s Child. Anyway for one reason or another I was in Atlanta and we were eating at the Cheesecake factory in Buckhead. Buckhead is the very ritzy part of Atlanta that has a lot of premium shopping and restaurants. As I recall my boys Mike Polite and Mike Mcladde were with me that evening. We were walking out of the factory after our meal when I saw him. Now there is something about famous people. I don’t know what it is about them but whenever you see them you might not know who they are but you know that they are somebody. How do you know if they are somebody. It usually comes down to what kind of clothes they are wearing and how much bling they have on. Rappers are usually wearing one of two brands. Either Louis Vutton or Gucci. They like nice clothes that are not understated. It can’t be nice without having the brand slapped in your face. When you are a rapper and people have to guess which brand you are wearing you have already lost. The bigger the emblem of the brand the better.
So up walks this huge black guy with Gucci shorts and a huge white T shirt. I stopped in my tracks because I knew that I recognized him. He had a huge iced out masterlock on his chain that he was wearing. And when I say masterlock you are correct if you are thinking “that thing that I used to put on my locker in high school”. Yeah I know it’s awesome. I kept staring at this dude cause I knew him but the name hadn’t popped in my head yet. I finally saw the Houston Astros hat that he was wearing and I knew who it was immediately. Nobody wears Houston Astros hats if they aren’t from the H town. It used to be like that with the Royals but now I see tons of people wearing Royals hats. I don’t think that’s fair. You can’t wear a Royals hats unless you have been through the pain I’ve been through.
So anyway I ran inside the factory cause Mike Polite was buying some cheesecake for the road. If any of you guys know Mike you know that’s something that he would do. I found him and I said “Mike, that dude Slim Thug is outside waiting for a table!” Mike replied “Who is that”. After I talked to everyone else that was in my group I realized that I was the only person who knew who he was. I don’t know who that is sadder for, me or Slim. We grabbed Mike and as we passed Slim one last time he gave me a mean “I’m fittin to beat you up” look. I guess Slim didn’t like the way I was staring at him. I probably should steer clear of messing with dudes with the first name of Slim.
Oh Snap I wrote this article before finding this picture but this is pretty much the outfit he was wearing. Sick!

Keep these long writing piece mugs a'comin! I know I'm reading them. I'm sure others are too. :)
I wish you did not know who that guy (Slim) was.
Yes, I think his outfit is sick too, but I think your "Sick" and my "sick" do not have the same meanings.
